Understanding molecular mediators can improve skin healing treatments.
research Matrisomal components involved in regenerative wound healing in axolotl and Acomys: implications for biomaterial development
Certain genes are more active during wound healing in axolotl and Acomys, which could help develop materials that improve human wound healing and regeneration.
research Effects of chronic inhibition of Testosterone metabolism on cardiac remodeling after ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial damage in gonadectomized rats
Testosterone reduces heart damage and inflammation after injury.

Finasteride can reduce DHT in the genitalia, potentially causing side effects like reduced erections and penile fibrosis. Using PDE5 inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil may help maintain penile health and prevent fibrosis.
community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors
Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
